History
On 11 November 1879, under the Divisional Boards Act 1879, the Tingalpa Division was created to govern the area to the east of metropolitan Brisbane. On 30 May 1885, the area around Cleveland split away to form the Cleveland Division. Under the Local Authorities Act 1902, both became Shires on 31 March 1903. The Tingalpa council met at Mount Cotton.
On 1 October 1925, a sizable portion of the Shire of Tingalpa (including the suburbs of Upper Mount Gravatt and Rochedale) became part of the new City of Brisbane along with 20 other local governments.
On 9 December 1948, as part of a major reorganisation of local government in South East Queensland, an Order in Council renamed Cleveland to "Shire of Redland" and amalgamated Tingalpa into it. On 15 March 2008, Redland was granted City status.
